Thoko Didiza held the post of Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs
from 17 June 1999 to 22 May 2006 and Minister of Public Works from 22
May 2006 to 25 September 2008 when Mbeki resigned she handed her
resignation in as well, but later crawled back to Zuma.

However, Ramokgopa has been very critical of Zuma and called on him to
resign and therefore is being kicked to the curb by the Msholozi gang.

It was in her post as minister of Agriculture that Didiza went on
Afrikaans Radio station RSG with a message to the white farmers just
before Christmas and tearfully pleaded in her rubbish propaganda advert
that the white farmers should please not evict their black workers so
close before Christmas, yadda, yadda, bullshit!

On Monday night 20th of June at least 19 buses were set alight and City
of Tshwane (Pretoria) workers had to be withdrawn from several townships
for their safety. The N1 near Hammanskraal and the Darspoort tunnel in
Pretoria West have been blocked by protestors.

Residents have chased away journalists, saying they don't want media in the area.

Tucker Carlson weighed in on the current state of the race for
president. Carlson argued, "Everyone knows she lies," when talking
about Hillary Clinton. Trump should remind Americans that "She hates
you. She has contempt for you. She doesn't like you."

Democratic operatives responsible for creating their party’s platform
this year have unanimously adopted a provision calling for the
Department of Justice to investigate companies who disagree with
Democrats on global warming science.

A panel of Democrats voted Friday to approve a final draft of the
party’s platform to promote “Progressive Democratic Values,” which
apparently includes investigating energy companies who “misled”
shareholders about global warming.

THE BIG IDEA: Britain’s stunning vote to leave the European
Union suggests that we’ve been seriously underestimating Donald Trump’s
ability to win the presidential election.

When you
consider all his controversies and self-inflicted wounds over the past
month, combined with how much he’s getting outspent on the airwaves in
the battleground states, it is actually quite surprising that Trump and
Hillary Clinton are so close in the polls. He’s holding his own, especially in the Rust Belt.

The
British campaign to exit the European Union (known as “Brexit”), like
Trump’s, was fueled by grievance. Those agitating to cut off formal ties
to the continent were less organized and less funded than those who
wanted to stay connected, but that deficit didn’t matter in the end,
because the energy was against the status quo.

When he descended
the Trump Tower escalator on June 15 last year to announce his run for
the presidency, Donald Trump polled near the bottom of the Republican
field. An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll taken from June 14 to 18
reported Trump was the first choice of 1 percent of Republican voters,
behind Rick Perry, Carly Fiorina, and eight others. A RealClearPolitics
graphic tracking an average of several polls illustrates the stunning
speed of Trump’s rise. For most of June, Trump’s line slithered along
the bottom of the 17-person field, then headed by Jeb Bush. Two weeks
after his announcement, Trump stood at 6 percent. After that his support
line began to shoot up vertically, pulling even with Bush by mid-July.
Trump finished the month at 21 percent, comfortably ahead of Bush and
Scott Walker at 12 and 13 percent respectively, a lead he would never
relinquish.

His announcement was at first treated by
the press as something of a curiosity. Many focused on his assertions of
wealth. “I’m really rich,” he said at one point. Few focused initially
on the notorious remarks about Mexico—“When Mexico sends its people
they’re not sending their best … they’re sending people that have lots
of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us, they’re
bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I
assume, are good people.” While factual, if one conceded that Trump was
not speaking of all Mexican migrants, the words were clearly incendiary.

Both supporters and
opponents of Donald Trump are losing it on Twitter after female
supporters of the presumptive GOP candidate began tweeting out their
love for him with the hashtag #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet.

One day after the Islamic terrorist attack in Orlando, a Muslim
woman showed up at the Los Angeles International Airport, making terror
threats. The news media was silent.

Journalist and cameraman Tony Vera captured police questioning a
Muslim woman at the airport and searching her luggage, but finding
nothing wrong, they released her and let her continue on inside the
airport.

Vera stopped her as she walked past him, and that’s when she let lose
again, with verbal terrorist threats against America. “F***
America,” the woman said. “I will make sure we bomb America. You wait
and see!”

She ranted on for several minutes, and eventually police arrested her
again at the ticket counter, this time for real. The video has been
turned over to the FBI.

The other day, German President Gauck made some rather revealing
statements which seemed to indicate the contempt the ruling elite have
for the people who elected and pay them to represent their interests.
Today it seems, many of the German public expressed their disgust.

German President Joachim Gauck was met with verbal abuse and rude
gestures on Sunday during a visit to the eastern state of Saxony, while
eye-witnesses also reported clashes between his supporters and
opponents.

Gauck was greeted by a crowd shouting “get lost” and “traitor” as he
arrived in the 8,700-strong town of Sebnitz to celebrate the 116th
German Hiking Day in so-called Saxon Switzerland, known for its stunning
scenery.

A new poll showed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with a 5-point lead over Republican rival Donald Trump
in a head-to-head match-up, but the presidential race was a statistic
dead heat when third-party candidates were included as will be the case
in November.

Reconstruction constitutes the one indelible and appalling disgrace of
the American people—the one chapter of their history which contains no
redeeming feature to relieve the endless execration of the civilized
world.
–Col. Alfred M. Waddell, 1892

I do not know who from the Tampa Bay News Paper wrote this article or who within that organizations command structure would allow it to be printed. To say that the Honorable General Kirby Smith was not, or is not worthy to be memorialized in Florida's Statuary Hall, and then to use a Black woman as the weapon of choice to discredit his life; only typifies what I have said about this war that has been declared once again on the Southland of America.

We as Southern people watched as those who hate us tried to transform an insane act in Charleston, South Carolina into one that was perpetrated by the Southern Cross, while using the lie as opportunity to advance their conspiracy for Southern social and cultural genocide . And, now we are insulted by those who occupy our homeland into believing that the Stand made against a man who illegally invaded our homeland somehow should be defined negatively by our people. And that we should accept the out right lies and attacks upon our ancestors for standing against them as they attacked the Constitution and the teachings in the Christian Bible.

One would have to be a fool not to recognize the conspiracy now being waged against the South, starting from Hollywood and any and every form of social media. Southern social and cultural genocide is the order of the day. And, decent and knowledgeable Black folks should repel any of this reconstruction crap for what it is. There is nothing to gain for decent Black folks to allow ourselves to be used in the same manner of the twelve year period of Reconstruction that almost put asunder the love and respect that Southern White and Black folks had for each other. If we as a race of people should be offended by a monument; it should be that of the bigot Abraham Lincoln that stands on the Capitol Mall.

And, let us ask the Tampa Bay News that is biased against the South; why didn't they select the statue of the Honorable General Kirby Smith and that of his Aide de Camp, the Honorable Dr. Alexander Darnes that is on the grounds of their childhood home in St. Augustine, Florida.

I am sure that the Honorable Mary McLeod Bethune would be infuriated by this gesture of your yankee governor, carpetbaggers, White folk guilt, and reconstruction minded Black Legislatures who allow themselves to enrich their personal coffers as the unsuspecting populous is left with the stench of hate that is sure to follow their actions. It makes me feel shame as an American that decent Northern and Southern people would set back and allow this sacrilege to continue. God bless you!

For those who like .45 ACP, the 230-grain bullet weight variety is the classic. Earlier this year, we took a look at another 230-grain self-defense load from Sig Sauer. This time, we’re testing Federal Premium’s offering in the heavyweight class.

The Federal .45 ACP HST
is a 230-grain load topped with a bullet designed to expand at the
moderate velocities of the full-weight .45 ACP. Most 230-grain loads are
rated below 900 feet per second, and this one is no exception, with a
claimed velocity of 890 feet per second.

The HST line is the next
generation of the Hydra-Shok basic design, but HST does not stand for
Hydra-Shok Two. The word is that HST doesn’t stand for anything, it’s
just a cool marketing name.

The projectiles are jacketed, and each
caliber and weight combination is specifically designed to achieve the
desired expansion and penetration results. In fact, the gaping maw of
the round might make the round look to some like a “flying ashtray.”

This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…The right
of self defense is the first law of nature: in most government it has
been the study of rules to confirm this right within the narrowest
limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of
the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color of pretext
whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the
brink of destruction.

***********************************

The historic vote on 23rd June 2016 was for me, the
culmination of a 21 year fight to free my country from the clutches of a
failed project that had taken over my country and ruled it from inside
Brussels. How could an Empire, on which the sun never set, have been
brought to the brink of extinction as an independent entity?

The original idea of the EU was first floated in 1943, in Nazi
occupied Europe by German Minister Von Rippontrop, in a proposal titled a
European Confederation. This proposal, though never formally adopted,
had at its core, themes of a common destiny of European peoples, aimed
to ensure that war never breaks out between them, and of a trading
partnership based on the principle of European preference. The proposal
was of course never acted upon as Germany lost the war, but the idea of a
European trading bloc never died.

Twelve years after the end of the war, the idea was reborn as the
1957 treaty of Rome which established the European Economic Community.
Its aims were similar to that of Von Rippontrop’s original draft, but
with the Third Reich, still a very painful memory all parallels were
strongly denied.

The Archdiocese of Bologna “strongly condemns the act of
those who have smeared with a provocative inscription on the pedestal of
the statue of San Petronio, the civil and religious symbol of the city.
Use the name of God to offend others is blasphemy.” “At the appropriate
authorities – underline the Archdiocese sources – the task of
identifying those responsible. All citizens ask you not to give in to
the logic of conflict and to prevail rather than the reasons for the
collaboration of all people to peaceful coexistence.”

It appears, just as we warned, that Brexit was indeed the first of many dominoes. Even before the Brexit result, a poll by Ipsos Mori showed that the majority of people in France and Italy want to at least have a referendum on leaving:
Meanwhile, over 40% of Swedes, Poles, and Belgians are in the same boat.

But now, as Martin Armstrong notes, Brussels simply went too far. They cross the line moving from an economic union to a political subordination of Europe. Now
eight more countries want to hold referendums to exit the EU – France,
Holland, Italy, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Portugal, and Slovakia all
could leave.

With Hollande's approval rating at about 11%, and Merkel lucky she is
not tarred & feathered, the Front National leader Marine Le Pen has
pledged to hold a French referendum. Hollande rejected Le Pen's call for a refendum today during their meeting; prompting the following from the leader of France's far-right National Front party:

"We will see at the presidential election (next year) which candidates commit to organize a referendum.

You know I am one of those because for the past four years now I've said that six months after being elected, I would organize a referendum on the exit (of France) from the European Union, and that I would use these six months to negotiate with the European Union its transformation into a Europe of the nations, giving
back to the French people four essential elements from its sovereignty:
territorial, economic, monetary-budgetary and legislative."

By BI: After beheading his fellow Canadian John Ridsdel in April, Abu
Sayyaf – the Islamic militants from south Philippines – beheaded
Canadian Robert Hall. Mr. Hall’s severed head was found near a Catholic
cathedral on a remote island of Jojo.

The two Canadians, as well as a Norwegian man and a Philippine woman
were kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf from a resort in September 2015. The
militants demanded large ransoms for the release of hostages. Because
the second payment deadlines was not met, the second hostage was
beheaded. The fates of Filipina Maritess Flor and Norwegian Kjartan
Sekkingstad are unknown.

It’s hard to imagine a better endorsement of Donald Trump’s economic
policies – whatever they may be, whenever he finds the time to explain
them – than the recent endorsement of Hillary Clinton by former
Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. As the man
in charge of the biggest explosion of corporate welfare in world
history – the “TARP” bailouts, he defined himself as a sworn enemy of
capitalism and a socialist when it comes to the capital markets.
Socializing billions of dollars in investment bank, insurance company,
and automobile industry losses with taxpayer dollars qualifies Paulson
as deserving of the S-word label. As such, Hillary Clinton may well
have found a new political and financial soulmate.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
